Road to the latest buzz. I'm Corey with the story.

Only fans owner, Leonid Rydvinsky, has died after a long fight with cancer. The platform

shared the news in a statement, saying he passed away peacefully.

His family is asking for privacy during this tough time.

Born in Ukraine, the businessman bought the company behind Only fans back in 2018. The

site launched a couple years earlier and really took off during the COVID pandemic. By last

year, it had 377 million subscribers and brought in $1.4 billion in revenue. Around 4.6 million

creators use it now, including plenty of big names.

Rydvinsky stayed out of the spotlight despite his $4,700 million net worth. He lived in

Florida and was even trained to fly helicopters. Folks called him reclusive, but he focused

on his business quietly. He also gave generously to good causes. That included $5 million

for Ukraine relief in 2022, plus support for a top cancer center and an animal welfare

group. Reports say he wanted to join billionaires, like Bill Gates, in pledging most of his

wealth to charity. Only fans keep growing strong, and Rydvinsky's legacy there looks set

to continue.
